Albalate de Cinca is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it resorted to locally produced small-change notes during the Civil War after metallic coin essentially vanished from circulation in 1936. These emergency municipal emissions — known collectively as paper moneda local — were typically produced on whatever printing or reprographic equipment the town hall had to hand, which accounts for the card stock weight here rather than conventional banknote paper.
The Gari catalogue remains the primary reference for Aragonese local issues, and the -A suffix on this listing indicates a known variant within the type — likely a paper stock or overprint distinction rather than a date difference.
